Mean Well has introduced the new PLC-30/60/100 LED power supply series targeted at LED lighting and decorative lighting applications. Modified from the existing PLN-30/60/100, the new plastic cases of the PLC family were redesigned to accommodate terminal block style I/O connection to provide a more flexible wiring option.

The new devices feature convenient mechanical adjustment of output current and voltage, allowing output current to be adjusted between 75% and 100% (or 75–103%) of rated value, while the output voltage can be adjusted between 85% and 100% (or 95–110%) of rated value. The PLC-30/60/100 also comply with UL 1310 Class 2, ensuring that under any situation the output power will be less than 100 VA or 5 A.

Employing ZCS/ZVS technology, the efficiency of the PLC family is as high as 89%, allowing the supplies to operate between -30°C and +50°C using only free air convection. Incorporating an active PFC function, the devices comply with the harmonic current limitation of lighting equipment per EN61000-3-2 Class C for 75% of output load or higher.

Standard protection features include short circuit, overload, over-voltage and over-temperature. Typical applications are moving signs and backlighting, LED-based decorative/architectural lighting, LED stage and theatre lighting, and LED electronic displays.
